Tumblr Savior v2.0.1 Released
Hi friends, I’ve just released a new version of Tumblr Savior that includes a major change in how it stores your settings and you will need to take a manual step to restore your settings. This is due to a recent change in Chrome requiring web extensions to use manifest version 3.
First, a little background. Tumblr Savior had been using localStorage since it launched over 10 years ago. Unfortunately localStorage is not available in service workers which Google has decided is how they want browser extensions to run background processes.
I had been putting off this change in hopes that they might change their mind, but as it stands now, if tumblr changes their dashboard and Tumblr Savior breaks, I won’t be able to publish a new version without updating to manifest version 3.
What does that mean for you?
Your settings will fail to load when you update to v2 of Tumblr Savior and you might start to freak out when you notice that items on your blacklist are not being blocked or your settings are different. But don’t panic, go into your Tumblr Savior options and open the Save/Load tab. There’s a new button in the middle of the page that says Read from localStorage. Press that button and you should see your old settings from localStorage appear in the textarea above. Scroll down, take a look at your settings to make sure they’re correct, and then click the Load button when you’re ready to use your old settings again.
What if it doesn’t work?
If you run into problems, please feel free to email me directly and I’ll try my best to sort things out.
As always you can find Tumblr Savior at the following locations:
And if you want to show some appreciation and support my work, you can send a little money my way.
